Digital image analyzer
Malvern Instruments’s “FPIA-2100” analyzer has been designed based on flow cytometry using a sheath flow mechanism to analyze wet suspensions and emulsions. The instrument calculates diameter and circularity parameters for each particle and displays results as a scattergram, allowing the establishment of a fingerprint for each sample. The sheath flow mechanism aligns particles with their major axis in the direction of flow, ensuring that every particle is held in focus and oriented with its largest surface area facing the camera.
